New in PJ Media:
The marketing campaign is in high gear. Tim Walz should be our vice president, our self-appointed moral superiors inform us because he is a guy just like you and me and the fellow grilling hamburgers next door. Not Chuck Schumer photo-op raw meat, either. Walz, the “news” media insists, is the real deal, an Ordinary Joe, even more ordinary than Old Joe Biden. A high school teacher! A football coach! A Marxist authoritarian! Oh, scratch that last one; they won’t be admitting that one until later. Nor is the establishment media talking about his friendships with Muslims who love Hamas.
The Washington Examiner reported Friday that Walz, “on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler.” The imam whom the Examiner had in mind was Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, who “said on Oct. 7 of last year that he ‘stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks.’” He has also “used his Facebook page over the years to share official Hamas press releases, blog posts on antisemitic websites slamming Jews, and, in one 2015 instance, a link to a piece on a website for a pro-Hitler film called ‘The Greatest Story Never Told.’”
Listen closely now and you can hear leftists all over our unhappy land shouting, “So what?” This is the sort of thing that Democrat politicians do all the time, and Walz himself has done it before. The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that Walz “spoke at an event for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in 2019, where he rubbed shoulders with an anti-Semitic scholar behind much of the Hamas propaganda on college campuses in the wake of Oct. 7, according to photos from the event.” CAIR top dog Nihad Awad was the one who shot himself in the foot by saying that Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre made him “happy.” That was too much even for the Biden regime, which summarily dropped CAIR from a White House antisemitism task force.
CAIR had no business being part of that task force in the first place. Back in Nov. 2021, Zahra Billoo, executive director of CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area chapter, delivered a venomously antisemitic speech in which she told her Muslim audience to “oppose the vehement fascist, but oppose the polite Zionist too.”
She warned against even far-left Jewish groups such as the ADL: “We need to pay attention to the Anti-Defamation League. We need to pay attention to the Jewish Federation. We need to pay attention to the Zionist synagogues. We need to pay attention to the Hillel chapters on our campuses because just because they are your friends today, doesn’t mean that they have your back when it comes to human rights.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Sadly, many “uneducated voters” are quite willing to look over a candidate’s true personality in exchange for support of stuff like critical race theory, DEI programs and support for transgenders. All crap that the @current government” will use in it’s favor.
Common sense has left the building.
WPM says
During the China flu shut down in 2020 he set up a snitch line so neighbors could call up a special state official in charge of enforcement if they saw people in their community “breaking the state rules” like playing basket ball in the street without a mask. Or hosting a party in their house with above number of guest according to state regulation. Making his state a kind of East Germany block in American Midwest He also publicly praised many times Congress critter Omar saying his state is blissed to have her representing them in congress .He would gladly pass Sharia law if he could ,he publicly said “hate speech” should not be protected in America on line also “misinformation” should not be protected on line or in written form. The MSM will just run pictures of him and his daughter riding fairground rides and him cooking hotdogs on the grill and try to erase all he has done and said as governor running up a giant state budge deceit and raise taxes threw the roof (there was a budge surplus before he was elected).

OLD GUY says
Military leadership sure isn’t what it used to be. Master Sargent Tampon Walz, prime example of the problem.
somehistory says
walz is one of them. One cannot be that close…”hobnobbing” numerous times…smiling and agreeing with what they are saying and doing, without being one of them.
walz is a liar….lying to the cop about drinking and driving under the influence, lying about his military service when he abandoned it as he found out it meant going to a war zone, and probably other lies are waiting to be discovered by someone who cares.
mozlums are prolific liars, so he fits right in with bilhoo and a wad and the others with whom he stands.
It all reads like a MN chapter of the starmers.

This felloe looks like a cross between Obama and Biden; just pudgier.
